That's usually made with a bunch of garlic, not onions. And skip the cilantro, just put it on your taco by itself if you want some. It's usually pretty mild, BTW.

I need to make some. I might do less onion and more garlic and see how it shakes out. Never gonna skimp on cilantro though

On the topic of seasonings, this is another one I've been using a lot lately. Black garlic is tasty, it's fermented until it loses the pungent sharpness you normally think of with garlic, and you're left with a taste that's sweet and savory and much more subtle (too mild for use in a BBQ rub). This is a seasoning blend that my neighborhood grocer has for $4.

Of course, you can also just buy it whole. The type of garlic typically used has a single large clove inside the head.

All you chefs need this. It’s razor sharp and it’s $14. You’re welcome. Oh, and get some Made In cookware.

Good call on the knife Tony. I grabbed one and for the price it is a great deal. Sharp as hell

Any cheddar fans here? 😁

Found these aged 2+ year cheddars on clearance at Sam's Club for $3.91 - under $2/lb for some good shit. Decided to stock up, lol. Might have to try smoking some cheese...

Things from Kinder's that are NOT awesome: sugar free BBQ sauce. 🤢

If you want a BBQ sauce without sugar, try an eastern NC style, which is mostly vinegar and red pepper, or an old-school Kansas City style like Zarda Original, which is almost more like a spice paste without much sugar.

I love when stuff is 0 sugar but then the first ingredient is high fructose corn syrup.


If the cattlemen had lobbyists like the corn growers association have had for 40 years there wouldn’t be any problems in the beef industry.

Funny you say that. I actually know someone who is a lobbyist for Nebraska beef. Not a fan of him personally so I assume he sucks at his job.

Is it weird to have six different kinds of butter in your fridge? Asking for a friend.

Yes

Turns out that I like cultured butters. Aldi's Irish butter ain't bad for the money. And yeah, most American butters are awful, whether it's store brand or Land o' Lakes.

I use unsalted Irish butter when possible. Also smoked a pork butt today as I have a couple days off this week

Just to keep it in the food thread instead of making another post… @HuskerGarrett if you haven’t tried Lowery Beer Garden, between Colfax and Parker Rd, please do. Great brew selection from all over Denver and holy shit their brats and other food is amazing. It’s 100% run by former service members, great environment, mostly outdoor so plan it on a sunny day.

You idiots paying extra for butter are just that - idiots
